Last day of school, 2009

In an hour the kiddies will be home for the rest of the year. Shocking!!!

My whole school year, thus far, has been pretty good with the exception of having an afternoon kindergartner. This has split my days in half and made a mundane task like getting the shopping done, awful! Either my child is cutting it close (or gets a tardy) or we leave with having visited half the stores I needed to go to (and later having to use more gas to turn around and go back to where I was shopping!) I had an afternoon kindergartner a few years ago but for some reason, this time around it is killing me!!!!! Just thought I'd vent to you....

I have, however, managed to buy the last Christmas item last week and almost everything is wrapped and hiding in the attic. Aw, bliss....

Hope your Christmas, preparing, partying, and presenting is going as planned.

I have an afternooner too and hate it! We save our errands for the afternoon, but by the time I'm done working, there's only 1.5 hours before kids come home from school, and by then my 3-year-old has usually managed to fall asleep somewhere, killing any chance of ever going grocery shopping. Although, I can't imagine having my sleepy little 6-year-old cute and ready to go in the morning. Usually I'm waking her up at the last minute to run the carpool. Can't win I guess.

Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to you all!

I always did morning K so I could drag Grace around with me on errands. I kind of miss those days.

ah, indeed--bliss. :-) Wish you all could come "home," too! I'll miss you! Love you, too!

annabelle was in afternoon kindergarten last year so i know EXACTLY what you mean. it really does cut the day in half. there's really no time to get anything done before school or during and certainly not after!
